Incresing Your Prosperity
HE surest way to get rich is to increase the multiplier ; which means for the
merchants o't Clinton -increase your eosto'mers rather than add to the lines you
are selling, or the stock you are carrying.
Adding to the number of the lines
you sell or to the volume of the stock
you carry is not the way surest to pros-
perity. Indeed, this has ruined thou-
sands of men,
The surer way is to multiply custom-
ers. No ,business can prosper or grow
that doesn't add many customers each
Year,
Customers must be added by
pu rposeful effort - by seeking them.
Waiting for them to rind you is
folly, Seek them by the news-
paper advertising. This is the
only sure way , to build up num-
bers.
To the Merchants of Clinton and Surrounding Villages.
You can multiply your customers through a series of good advertisements
